Testing

Testing in Kani is carried out in multiple ways. There are at least two very good reasons to do it:

1. Software regression: A regression is a type of bug that appears after a change is introduced where a feature that was previously working has unexpectedly stopped working.

   Regression testing allows one to prevent a software regression from happening by running a comprehensive set of working tests before any change is committed to the project.

2. Software metrics: A metric is a measure of software characteristics which are quantitative and countable. Metrics are particularly valuable for project management purposes.

We recommend reading our section on Regression Testing if you're interested in Kani development. To run kani on a large number of remotely hosted crates, please see Repository Crawl.
